And, work first, we can all wait. :)

Do we have an estimate of the time for the turn yet?

Energy density has to be shit though - just look at all the oxygen in the molecule.

Your MOM is full of oxygen.

Nah, That was a fair cop all things being said. Rather I'm just salty about the political obsession regarding the damn PAROI party :V

Well, do Nazi makes nice Wooooooosh sounds when you set them on fire? No, I don't think so.

What? No, that's the bottom right part.

I'm not.

if you look at the gender binary page on rationalwiki it says it's 100% socially constructed.

Then if you look at the transgender page on rationalwiki it says it's 100% biologically determined.

That's apples and apples. The mention of sexual orientation was an aside just to give a broader picture of how they accept or reject biological basis for gender or sexual traits, more or less purely based on a pre-existing worldview.

The gender binary page says that the idea of a gender binary (aka there are two genders and everyone fits in one of those) is a social construct. It doesn't say that the gender identity of a person is a social construct. Again, I'm not saying there are no holes ever, but the contradiction you're pointing here doesn't necessarily exist.

P.S. While looking on their Gender page, I love that they illustrate it with this picture:



Both source links aren't to the picture maker, but to blog post being angry that some white, heterosexual, cis guy dared make a good-looking version of a graphic that had been going around. I mean, they're still going to use his graphic (because looking at the link, the original version looked like crap), but they're also going to be calling for his boycott.

You're mixing up sexual orientation and gender identity there Reelya. While it's true that you have contradictions  generally due to different definitions of stuff like gender (like, is gender a social construct or an innate part of one's identity?), you can an internally coherent worldview where sexual orientation (who you attracted to) is biological. Likewise, you can think that the idea that there is two gender is a social construct, but that people fit in a bajillion gender for biological reason. It might not be right, but so far it's somewhat coherent.

Pretty sure Macron talked about political reform, even if it wasn't part of his partys platform.

Though with the size reduction of the Parliament, one has to wonder which part? Is he going to do everybody that isn't part of his party (which would be an all too obvious power grab)? Or is he going to do some sort of random thing? Theres going to be losers from his party if he does something that won't look like a power grab and those newly elected members aren't going to want to be booted from their new job so soon.

I guess they'd just wait for the next election for the reduction in seat number to take place.

More concerning is that he wants some legislative acts to be able to pass with only a comittee vote, not a full vote. He also threaten a referendum on the matter f the Assemblée Nationale doesn't reform itself according to his wishes within a year.

Legacy-building or genuine concern for the country. The latter does occur on occasion, even though it's rare in the modern age.

Yeah, but it's just weird that it wasn't really a plank of his platform pre-election.
